Hello all! Apologies for cluttering your mailboxes, but we have had a date change at the Sports Basement Bryant Store and that Snowcamping Essentials clinic will now be on 11/23. Wanted to make sure no one shows up on the wrong date if they were planning to go. Same time, same place.

This is my annual public service announcement about the importance of snowcamping as survival skills whether you are a climber, backpacker, skiier/snowboarder. Additionally, snowcamping can actually be fun. The annual Sierra Club Snowcamping training series really helped me get a jump start in
mountaineering - learning how to stay warm, comfortable, and deal w/the
winter elements helped me be able to focus more on my climbing (rather
than whether my water bottle froze overnight).

We hold a series of free informational clinics around the
Bay Area on "Snowcamping Essentials" to give people an idea of the basics and also introduce the annual training series. (Note - the REI presentations are REI staff with Sierra Club snowcampers on hand.) The annual
training series includes a one day class and two field trips, all
for around $125. I'm a leader in Group 5 in case you want to sign up
for my group. Lots more info, applications, etc. at www.snowcamping.org or shoot me an email.
